ENERGYXCHANGE, BURNSVILLE NC, USA

APPLICATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 14, 2012

The Craft Studio Incubator Program is an opportunity for artists to develop their craft business. They learn how to expand the love of their craft into a livelihood. The clay studio space is 30×50 and is shared with three other artists, each given a quarter of the studio. There are two electric kilns for bisque firing, a methane (landfill gas) kiln for high firing, and the new wood pallet-fired kiln. Each artist is given office space, desk, computer with wireless internet, and we share the copier, fax, and credit card machine. Business classes are arranged through Mayland Community College to address topics such as setting up your business, bookkeeping, and tax reporting. Handmade in America provides artist-in-the-studio focused classes.

Pairings: A Conversation
Sat 14 Jan 2012 – Sun 26 Feb 2012

Cross-disciplinary collaborations in craft and design. A touring exhibition from Manchester Metropolitan University showcasing the work created over the last eighteen months by artists working in partnerships across their different specialist fields within craft, art and design. Having to engage with new technologies and techniques unfamiliar to them, this exciting exhibition displays and interprets the processes and documents the ‘conversations’ as sketches, tests and experiments, as well as the finished outcomes. The exhibition itself becomes a discussion between all the makers and between the makers and the audience. Artist Talks: Wednesday 1st February at Craft in the Bay An opportunity to hear some of the exhibiting artists discuss their work and the collaborative process. Full details will be available shortly. Talks will be held in the conference room and within the exhibition area. Advance booking required. Cost: £5
